Application filed July 9, 1919.

To all whom' it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALEXANDER FISCHER, Jr., a citizen of the United States of Amer-` ica, and a. resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Mops, of Which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is a mop of a construction that is strong' and easy to make.

The mop embodying my invention comprises a handle A. cross pin B, Wire loop D` staples E, E and the mop head G.

The staples E, E are driven into the end of the handle and are then turned down so that their ends project at diametrically opposite points beyond the edge of the handle. The cross pin B in the course of manufacture of the mop has straight ends. The strands of the mop being held against the handle by Wire loop which is passed through the ends of the staples E, E and Specification of Letters Patent.

its ends drawn tight over the pin B and then bent down. Then the Y B are bent over. as shown in the drawings.

All of the steps taken in the course ot' inanufacturing;` my mop are simple andv quickly and easily performed. The cross pin and the staples vmaintain the Wire loop firmly and centrally in position so as to hold the strands of the mop head firmly in place.

Havingl thus described my invention` what I claim is:`
